We've got a poll running over at The Wargamer about preferences for counters for the upcoming Warfighter series games. If I could post the poll here, too, I would, but I don't know how to do it, and we've go a forum over there, too, so we're going to use it

Text from the poll over there:
I'm working on the full art for the new Warfighter series games right now, and I've got a question for all fans of the series.
In the original Movement to Contact, the art was all B&W on color counters and mostly line art, with some photo style.
In The Guards, we went to near-full-color photo-style counters.
For Maneuver Warrior we did B&W but almost all photo style.
I've been experimenting with a variety of different looks, and frankly, the silhouettes aren't looking too bad. There's a loss of detail, for sure, but overall the crispness of the counters is greatly improved, and they look less cluttered. But I know that the large, detailed counters are one of the big attractions for a lot of fans of the games.
I'm NOT changing the sizes of the counters. I'm only interested in establishing a consistent look that all the Warfighter games will follow from here on out. Up until now, we'd changed some things from game to game, experimenting with different ideas to see what we - and more importantly, you the customers - liked best. We're past that now, and we want to standardize as much as possible so that from here on out there's one look for the series.
So, here's you chance to have a say! Tell me what you like and what you don't. Vote, but please elaborate as well.
Thanks!
Counter samples
They're not all big, and some are different sizes (they were set up for use in different places, but I just grabbed what was handy rather than custom-create a whole bunch...)
Movement to Contact - Mostly B&W line art
++++++++++++++++++++
The Guards - Photo-style with some color
++++++++++++++++++++
Maneuver Warrior - Photo-style but mainly B&W
++++++++++++++++++++
Possible silhouette counters for new Warfighter game (just a mock-up, not necessarily in production)
